If you love sport and happen to be in the Osaka-Kobe area, then this is a must. It is so much fun! There is constant singing, chanting and drumming throughout the game. The fans couldn't of been nicer as well to us two foreigners, even...More

This is a must do experience if you like sports at all. Japanese baseball is huge fun, and totally family friendly. There’s no aggressive people here like in other countries.
The great thing, other than the baseball itself, is the crowd. There are special songs...More

I went to the Koshien museum, tour, and a baseball game. Overall I had a positive experience, but it was a bit difficult as a solo traveller. The museum and tour were all in Japanese. They do give you a little paper with info on...More

I took my family to the match vs Yakult Swallows. For a thursday night i wasn't expecting a big crowd but it was almost a sellout.
We purchased our tickets online, collecting the tickets was so easy. We were in the centre- right outfield bleachers...More

I am a massive Tigers fan and have seen them a few times in Tokyo but this was my first visit to Osaka. During the day I visited the History Museum on the south side of the stadium and did the stadium tour which was...More

Baseball in Japan is like no other place-- and especially watching the Hanshin Tigers at Koshien Stadium. If you are in Japan during the season (April to end of Sept), this is a must. Be aware that for the month of August, the Tigers do...More

Located within walking distance of Koshien station and a short ride from Osaka, a matchday experience here should not be missed.
Great matchday atmosphere. Crowd is buoyant, loud and in great voice!
Merchandise is easily available from the many shops at the stadium and outside....More

No self-respecting baseball fan can visit Japan and not partake of the fun and unique experience of the Japanese enjoying (and perfecting, in my opinion) America's past time. First, since Hanshin is a railway company, reaching the stadium is easy on the Hanshin Rail Line...More

A Hanshin Tigers game at Koshien Stadium is a must-visit if you happen to be visiting Osaka or Kobe and are a serious or even semi-serious baseball fan. The atmosphere is at least as good (and often much better) than what I've experienced in many...More

We bought our tickets several weeks in advance, so I am unable to answer you question regarding tickets at gate. We went to the game on a week day and the ball park appeared to be full. I did not notice a lot of empty seats. If you can buy the tickets in advance, I would recommend it. If you are already in Japan, the people at the front desk of your hotel can help you. A Japanese travel agent can also assist you.
Yes, you can take a back pack into the ballpark. People were carrying bags with noise makers and food.
We sat in the outfield and had a experience of a lifetime.
Please enjoy the game and the atmosphere.
